In His Own Words
: “Overall, we are more consistent than most of our competitors. If we deliver our product on time and complete, we are going to keep the business. Number one is execution, along with good product lines and programs. It’s not rocket science. It’s also listening to your customers, because they will tell you what they want from you.”
